Beautiful sunset to end a very nice day

It's been a really nice summer day here in the Mid-South. Though temps were still quite warm (high of 93 at Memphis Int'l), the humidity bottomed out near 25% as dewpoints sunk to 50! It was a dry heat. ;-) The day ended with a gorgeous sunset as cirrus clouds streaked the western sky. A cool night can be expected in outlying areas tonight with temps falling into the 60s. Tomorrow could be a couple of degrees warmer than today, though humidity levels will remain low. Rain chances appear in time for the holiday weekend - find the complete forecast at MemphisWeather.net.

Humidity heads south with cold frontal passage

What a difference 24 hours makes! Temperatures this morning are anywhere from 10-15 degrees cooler than yesterday at this time. WXLIVE! is currently sitting at 64 degrees - yesterday is was 79. In fact, a record maximum low temperature was set once again yesterday with a low of 81 degrees at midnight last evening (it dropped to 82 yesterday morning, but the low recorded is a 24-hour low).

This cooldown is thanks to a frontal system that moved through yesterday. If you were outside during the late afternoon or evening, you could probably start to feel the difference as a fresh north breeze was blowing and humidity was dropping. Though it was still hot, the official temperature got to only 94 - breaking a string of 11 straight days of 95+ weather.

For the next couple of days, I expect we will continue to see low humidity levels, though temperatures will remain in the 90s (lower half, not upper!). Morning lows will fall into the 60s for most Mid-Southerners through mid-week.

The Independence Day forecast is now posted at MemphisWeather.net - I'll have more detail on the blog in a couple of days on what to expect with your fireworks forecast.
